Upon receipt of the LEMSA's notice pursuant to Section 45-54 pertaining to a violation of this article by a 911 ambulance service Provider, the
LEMSA Executive Director shall set a date and time for a hearing before the LEMSA
Board and shall send a notice thereof to the Provider. In the event the LEMSA Board
determines at the conclusion of the hearing that there has been a violation of this
article which constitutes an immediate threat to public health and safety, the LEMSA
Board may determine that there has been a material breach of the EOA Agreement and
may terminate said Agreement immediately. As to all other violations, the LEMSA Board
shall mail the Provider written notice, return receipt requested, setting forth with
reasonable specificity the nature of the violation(s). The Provider shall have the
right to cure such violations within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of such notice.
Within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of such notice, the Provider shall deliver
to LEMSA, in writing, a plan of action to cure such material breach. If the Provider
fails to cure such violation(s) within the period allowed for cure (with such failure
to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the LEMSA) or the Provider
fails to timely deliver the cure plan to the LEMSA Board, the LEMSA Board may terminate
the EOA Agreement. In the event of termination of the EOA Agreement, the Provider
shall cooperate completely and immediately with the LEMSA and County to effect a prompt
and orderly transfer of all responsibilities to a new Provider.
The Provider shall not be prohibited from disputing any such finding of violation
and any action by the LEMSA Board with respect thereto through litigation; provided,
however, that such litigation shall not have the effect of delaying, in any way, the
transfer of 911 ground ambulance service in the EOA to a new Provider.
